WTF? So the firmware was pulled but someone made a stupid thread pretending like it wasn't?

Yes they did. The update seemed to be creating problems for many.

I won't blame Sony at all for this. I am an enterprise application developer and I know that when you roll out something that is going to be installed in millions of platforms at one time and when your change involves modification of the low level firmware logic, well testing can certainly be a nightmare. I am sure that Sony must be working round the clock right now to provide a solution. What about the guys out here? Did any experience problems?

 There were only an isolated group of people that had an error during the install.

Im glad I didnt download it, even the chance of bricking my 60 gig makes me faint hearted, its almost impossible to have those replaced now.



I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"

"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"

"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"

Almost right..  From Gamefaqs:

- On topic, as foretold by our great potentate "OG THE CLEVER" the PS3's attempt to emulate the 360 results in its self destruction, some things are just too powerful to match.

-  Shut up your F***** Xbot and go crying that your Xbrick haves a RROD MUHAHAHA..
